Q.6 What's your favorite Discipline: taking time out in transition -
what's all the rush about!
Q.7 Your most embarrassing tri moment: A skimpy speedo moment on

I finished but was hooked on the sport thereafter.

athlete: Before this year I was disorganised, got injured and missed
sessions regularly. This season I'm more structured and I'm really
feeling the benefits as a result. Feel like a "Pro"!

bring that up Mark - I was recently told by a female triathlete in the
shower that I have "buns of steel" just like Daniel Craig! Others know
me as "Arnie" I won't brag but I once had massive "pecks"! So take your
pick! Me I'm looking forward to being called the "Kona Kid"! - remember
that one D1 and D3 that's the "Kona Kid".

status by end of season and do 9.00 hrs for IM Switzerland!
Q.18 At the start of a race are you up at the front or have you the
sence to find a place that suits you: You should get Dave Beary to
answer that one for me - he has the cunning ability to be able to pick
me out 2 years running in a swim start of 2,500 people all wearing black
wetsuits and red hats!
Q.19 Who is your race within a race (the person you like to beat) that
should read want to beat! It's definitely gotta be the current "D1" and
"D3". Two more dedicated guys you couldn't meet! It's time to rotate the
podium placings in 2007 - Victory will be sweet!
